<P class="title"><A NAME="HELPSwEATTR"></A>Switch <B>-E[+]&lt;attr&gt;</B>
-  set file exclude and include attributes<hr></P>

<P>Specifies file exclude or include attributes mask. &lt;attr&gt;
is a number in the decimal, octal (with leading '0') or hex (with leading
'0x') format.</P>

<P>By default, without '+' sign before &lt;attr&gt;, this switch defines
the exclude mask. So if result of bitwise AND between &lt;attr&gt;
and file attributes is nonzero, file would not be processed.</P>

<P>If '+' sign is present, it specifies the include mask. Only those
files which have at least one attribute specified in the mask will
be processed.</P>

<P>In the Windows version is also possible to use symbols D, S, H,
A and R instead of a digital mask to denote folders and files with
system, hidden, archive and read-only attributes. The order in which
the attributes are given is not significant.</P>

<P>It is allowed to specify both -e&lt;attr&gt; and -e+&lt;attr&gt;
in the same command line.</P>
